PROHIBITION PROHIBITS
A Kansas Case Decided by the United
States Supreme Court

\ important decisio" made, and one like
~ to he far reaching in its consequences
In the U. S. Supreme Court, on Monday
in the so.called Kansas prohibition cases
OF Mugler, VI. the State Of Kansas, and the
State Of Kansas VS.. Ziebold and others
The judgment Of the court was pronounced
in long and elaborate opinion by Justice
| Harlan.
Justice Harlin concluded the decision
sustaining the Kansas State prohibitory
law as follows: ut is a fundamental prin.
eiple in our institutions, Indispensable to
the preservation Of public liberty, that one
of the separate departments Of Govern.
ment shall not usarp the powers commit
ted by the Constitution. AS to the a,lega.
! ton that prohibition Of the manufacture
and sale Of liquor deprive, liquor dealers
OF their property without due process OF
law, the court says all property under our
form of government is subject to the obi.
CATION that il shall not be used 50 as e,
| injutiouslv affect tlr rights Of the com.
uA'NItH, dtlC tnEItbE DcCOlllc a nuisance.
The State OF kausas had the right to pro.
hibit the liquor traffic. 1t did not thereby
take away the property Of brewers. 1t
simply abated NUISANCE. The property
is not taken away from its owners. They
are only prohibited from using it for the
specific purposes which the Legislature dc.
clared to be INJURIOUS to community. For
reasons stated, says Justice Harlan, we are
OF opinion that Mugler plaintiff in error,
has not been denied by judgments Of the
Supreme Court Of Kansas any right, priv.
ilege or immunity secured to him BY the
Constitution Of the Uniteds States, and its
judgment in each case is accordingly af.
tir,ned. We are also OF opinion that the
Circuit Court OF the United States erred
in dismissing tn. bill OF the State in the
| suit against Zicbold and Hogelin, the de.
cree in that case is reversed and the cause
remanded with the direction that it enter a
decree granting to the State such relief as
the act OF March :, 1855, authorizes"

GERMANY AND RUSSIA.
The Trouble with Russia not Ended Yet.

\ Berlin dispatch says on the side OF
Russia the situation still continues grave.
The Car has failed to gain control Of the
anti-Teutonic party, and ii he himself is
! convinced OF the friendly intentions of the
German Government, he has been unable
| to persuade the majority in the Imperial
Council, Some practical measures are nee
essary to restore an entente. In the mean.
time the ant; Germans parental in the
! Ministry remains in power, and an order of
De Geirs, ;nstructing the press to cease at
tacking Germany, is dctied.
The severest contest during the session
of the Reichstag will be that over the bill
making the legislative period five instead
OF three years. The bill is practically a
Government affair. The official organs
support the proposal strongly, on the
ground that it will relieve the people of the
disturbing influences OF often recurring
elections, while giving greater independ
ence 10 Parliament. There will be fierce
and envcnomed fight before the measure
can pass, but it will pass with solid ma
jority, equallipg the >cptcnnatc vote. No
combination can defeat any bill having the
support of the Government groups. The
project to organize the I.!n.iwebr and
I,andstrum is still! before the Bundesrath,

Saturday, 10th July, 1887.

We willingly find space for the letter OF our
correspondent "Prudens futurl," who, evil
IDENTIFY speaking 70. others besides himself,
argues for the possibility and exhibits the
advantages of o reciprocity treaty with the
United States under which the sugars Of this
island should be admitted into the States tree
of duty. In regard to the advantages we are
at one with our correspondent; but IN regard
to the possibility we have the most serious
doubts. We are not concoited . enough to
suppose that our extremely limited knowledge
of international commercial laws and treaties
entities us to say what is possible and what is
not; but from what little we do know
we think that the conclusion of any such
treaty is in the highest degree improbable.
In the first place it is scarcely necessary to
call attention to the fact that Santa Cruz IS
not an independent power, and any such reel
procity treatN must be made between Den.
mark and the United States, not between
Santa Cruz and the United States. There
issprohably no one. in this island who could
say what this consideration alone involves.
Next. it is very doubtful whether the treaty
formerly made with Denmark, and on which
the suit of Messrs. Bartram Bros. was based,
binds the United States government to take
any proposal from the side of De1mark for o
reciprocity treaty under consideration but
even If it does, it ia quito plain from the Iudg-
ment quoted that in such g case that govern
ment would consider the nature OF the COM
pensation offered, whether it were adequate
or not. Now it is not to be supposed that
such compensation could be drawn from Den
mark, it would be drawn from this island,
and when we consider what the United States
would gain by the arrangement as measured
against what they would lose, we must admit
that the bargain would be very one sided in
q pecuniary point Of view. Indeed it Is this
fact which makes our correspondent and
others wish for it. We do not meanto imply
that it would be an immoral bargain in any
sense; there might be considerations beyond
money which w~ouldinfuence the United States
in the matter. This was SO In the case OF the
Sandwich islands treaty. The statesmen who
, 1887-07-16

favoured that treaty were presumably inhu-
enced by far-reaching considerations. The
United States has a formidable rival on the
Pacific slopes in the Dominion of Capada.
Already that government has followed up the
transcontinental railway of the United States
by one of it's own, and lines of steamers are
being established to run from Victoria,
Hancouver's Island, to China and Japan.
The purpose of the Hawaiian treaty was
undoubtedly, not to secure a certain grade
of sugar, as was suggested in our Colonial
Council the other day, but to strengthen
she Pacific and marine OF
the Union, an advantage which would
scarcely find a parallel in the trade
with Santa Cruz. We repeat, then,
our opinion that the securing of any
such treaty as our correspondent contem-
plates is, to say the least, in the highest
degree improbable. We would be glad to be
able to think and say otherwise, for besides
that the advantages would be great, it is not
agreeable to depreciat9. When a lady friend
brings out the baby, we all say of course
that it is a remarkably fine child, the image
OF papa, the image of mama &c. &c, and we
would like to say something kind also in this
case, but alas! we cannot.

The Cuban Treaty and the
Supreme Court.

One Of the chief arguments against tbs
Cuban treaty, and that on which the oppo-
nents of that wise measure pushed most con-
fdently and persistently in 1880-81, was that
% reciprocity treaty with Spain covering Cuba
would admit the sugar Of all other sugar pro-
ducing countries under the ''most favoured
nation" clause usual in treaties.
Any stick is good enough to beat a dog,
with, as an old proverb says, and the oppo.
nents of the Cuban treaty used. this plea,
not because it was reasonable o. pertinent,
but because if they had@ given the reasons
which moved them to opposition these would
have been so weak as to help the treaty.
Well, the Supreme Court has now deprived
them Of this arguments II the case of
Bartram against the Collector of New York
it has decided that q reciprocity treaty may
be made by this government with one country
without thereby having to admit others to
like privileges. Certain importers brought
suit against the United States Collector az
New York for the return of duties collected
Oh sugar imported from st. Croix, q part of
the dominions of Denmark, ON the ground
that sugar was admitted free into the United
States from the Hawaiian Islands, and sh0
treaty with Denmark of 1926 provides that.
'no higher or other duties shall be imposed
on the importation into the United States
of any article, the produce or manufacture
